## Description

J.B. Hunt operates the largest domestic intermodal network in North America, so its intermodal segment (JBI) is a standard read on intermodal pricing. Revenue per load excluding fuel strips out diesel swings to show the underlying rate.

In the first quarter of 2026, J.B. Hunt's intermodal loads rose 3% year-over-year while revenue per load excluding fuel fell 2%, per its [quarterly results](https://investor.jbhunt.com/). This market asks whether that measure turns positive in the third quarter as volumes build. A companion market tracks intermodal [volume growth](https://www.rigload.com/markets/intermodal-domestic-volume-q3-2026).

## Resolution criteria

Resolves YES if J.B. Hunt reports that its intermodal (JBI) revenue per load, excluding fuel surcharge revenue, increased year-over-year in the third quarter of 2026, as stated in the company's Q3 2026 earnings release and Form 10-Q. Resolves NO if that measure is flat or lower. The metric and its year-over-year change are reported directly by J.B. Hunt in its [quarterly results](https://investor.jbhunt.com/); the company's stated figure governs.
